Dungeon-Series Theme

Hello all! Apologies for spamming you guys over the weekend.

Now that Castle Ravenloft is finished I wanted to start putting some feelers out there for what might be a suitable next target for some battle maps from WotC content. While Ravenloft took much longer than I anticipated it taking, the end result I'm fairly p...

Public Assets Pack Theme

Hi! With the Urban Assets Pack now solidly in the rearview mirror, it's time to start planning the next Public Assets Pack!

Please vote between the following options (you can vote for multiple)! I'm keeping these a little broader for now, and will likely put out a different poll in the near-future for you guys to choose betwee...

Castle Ravenloft on DMsGuild

Hello beautiful weekend people,

Just yesterday after a couple of additional tweaks I posted our Castle Ravenloft package on to DMsGuild as a part of my desire to share the maps with others not interested in the Patreon platform (and to hopefully continue to rely more on map-making as a primary income tbh). 

If you'r...

Castle Ravenloft (Complete set)

Hello all!

Been on a little hiatus at the beginning of October here as I've been finalizing all of the many steps necessary to completing Castle Ravenloft. Here you will find every floor compiled, all of the rooms organized by module labels with grid and no grid versions, different resolutions, and ready-made PDFS for...

Ravenloft -- Final Rooms

Castle Ravenloft is now 100% complete! However, one of my worst habits is underestimating how long a project is going to take me, so I've documented all of the extra rooms I built to complete the castle here for your reference.

Check the very next post coming for the complete .zip file of the whole castle.

VTT Grid

Hello all, happy October!

Random poll for those of you who play VTT (virtual tabletop): as someone who typically does not play via technology, when you're using my battle maps to do so, do you typically prefer to have them with the grid already, or without? 

By my understanding there are often options for b...

Dungeon Assets Part 2

Hello all!

With Castle Ravenloft mapped out and in the process of formal cleaning-up I took it upon myself to complete the previously released Dungeon Assets Part 1. By scouring through every room in the castle I have glean...

Ravenloft: Miscellaneous Rooms 2

THE FINAL ONE.

What a fun month for finishing up long-lasting projects! What you see before you are the last set of rooms that I'll be publishing as stand alone maps from the infamous Castle Ravenloft from the well-loved WotC module Curse of Strahd.

I've been working on mapping out the castle's beautifu...

Urban Assets Pack

IT IS HERE.

After many months of testing your collective patience I have finally managed to sequester myself away in order to finish off the remaining pieces of the Public Urban Assets Pack.

Urban Assets Pack Preview

Hello all!

As I'm sure some of you are aware of, I have been working on the next larger public assets pack for a few months now. The theme, Urban, seems to be a topic of great potential use for many of you and in order to hope and try to pull it off in the way that I envision it's required a little more work than I ha...

Spires of Ravenloft Pt.2

The second to last Ravenloft map! Only one more to go!

Here is the companion to the earlier Spires of Ravenloft Pt.1-- part 2! Featuring a number of delightful rugs and increasingly concerning beds. As with all previous Ravenloft rooms, each one is separated into an individual PNG file and I went ahead and combined th...

Community Library V.1

Hello all!

I still have plans in the making for organizing maps, resources, guides, and other links on a separate platform for easier access for you all, but as that may still be a ways off I wanted to be able to share a small bit of the fruit of your collective efforts!

A little while ago I had posted about starting a '...

Castle Ravenloft -- Dungeon & Catacombs

With Castle Ravenloft nearing a complete state within the next couple of posts for it I've begun to compile the rooms into complete floors. 

Here's a peek at what's to expect when the entire project becomes available! High-res PNGs of whole floors.

*Note that I'll be working to provide convenient paper vers...

Ravenloft Chapel Photoshop File

Ravenloft Chapel

Hello all!

Here is the latest addition to everyone's favorite immortal vampire infested fallen-from-grace castle: Ravenloft. The castle's tarnished chapel area is one of the largest single rooms in the entire castle and gave me the chance to experiment with some more interesting stained glass lighting effects.

Those of y...

Longsaddle Photoshop File

Longsaddle

Hello all!

For the 2nd map of July I was commissioned by a fellow patron to recreate a map of an older location in the history of D&D--the town of Longsaddle. Being a preexisting location within the Forgotten Realms setting created by WotC we are lucky that it is already rife with backstory, NPCs, and previ...

Download Links Breaking

Hello all!

At what may be the worst possible timing, there appears to be a streak of download links breaking among older posts. I have no idea why this may be happening and am in communication with Patreon support regarding the issue. 

Due to the recent move (in combination with us being fairly nomadic at the moment...

Lava Forge Photoshop File

Fire Giant Lava Forge

Hello all!

Apologies on my brief hiatus this month--it's been a busy season for me and mine, we're moving! So while this is just the third map I've put out this month, I'll hope to be able to get out the final two before the end of the week, but we'll see.

Regardless, here is the dungeon map I've been working on for a Fi...

Spires of Ravenloft Pt1

The June installment of Castle Ravenloft!

Getting up into the higher parts of the towers that loom above the rest of the castle, we have here the roof of one of the towers as well as the rooms the comprise the witches' lair below. As with previous iterations of Ravenloft's rooms, I've separated the rooms into individu...

Community Collection: Battle Maps

Hello all!

Through the process of creating assets for you all to use I've heard story after story of awesome battle maps that you guys have made for your campaign using said assets. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see a picture or a Roll20 screenshot from that battle map's use and that sincerely encourages and excites me that I ...

Blacksmith Assets

Hello all!

For this month's 'booster pack' of assets I've decided to start on a series of "shop assets"--a collection of venue-specific items and assets that are originally intended to help populate a store area, but like any other assets, can be creatively used far beyond that.

This month, I decided to start with the 'b...
